Words of wisdom from Mr. Miyamoto

“A game that keeps a smile on the player’s face is a wonderful thing.”

“The man understands the way games go together.”

“To do this we must return to the beginning, to recapture the essence
that made people who enjoy games even now enjoy them in the first
place.”

“Though games are things made by great efforts of skill, it is
important to remember that they are also made by people.”

“Before making a game, one must understand precisely how it will end.”

“‘Presentation is not what kind of picture you paint; it is how you
behold your beholder.”
